[東方 Post Rock/Vocal] Akane ft. Nocturne — Infinite Nightmare

Hello everyone! I present to you another song that has been brewing inside my head for years. In fact, some lines for this song were in my mind even before I made it. I’ve played a lot of Double Spoiler, you see, among every other Touhou game. And since the original is quite repetitive, and is played over the hardest levels of the game, you listen to it A LOT. So, after awhile I noticed that the words “welcome to my infinite nightmare“ and “all of my dreams“ go perfectly with beginnings of verses and choruses. Then, much later, I built the entire rest of the lyrics around those two phrases. Anyways, the song is a bit dark, but I couldn’t really have it any other way. Not when the original song is literally called Infinite Nightmare. Exploring this dark determinism felt like the only thing that made sense. In other news, recording of The Music Escape remaster is now 100% complete. Now only some minor editing and mastering stuff remains before I finally release it. Thank you for your patience! In the meantime, enjoy the song.

Was the vision false? Then why was it familiar still? Like I am still there Shudder in despair Feeling the chill Is anything real? Welcome to the human world again City of big crowds and metal reign Blank expression on everyone’s face We’re all stuck in this forsaken place Hour after hour of routine I can’t help but give in to the spleen Powerless I fall into my bed All the roads that I have chosen led To Hell And all of my dreams Are bound here for eternity When I try and flee Chain is holding me No way to be free I can feel the shades Obscure yet so familiar forms When I hear them speak I feel very weak Like a newborn Then I open my eyes Then I open my eyes And see that everything disappeared Did I really see Hell in front of me Was it ever real? Was the vision false? Then why was it familiar still? Like I am still there Shudder in despair Feeling the chill Our lives The never ending struggle with fate Cycle of rebirth Prisoners of Earth Carrying the weight Dreaming to ascend We made up our illusion of will But in the end we are Falling like a star Fighting is nil Is anything real?
